PORTLAND, Ore. — A man died in the street after a shooting on Saturday night in the Beaumont-Wilshire neighborhood, Portland police said. It is being investigated as a homicide.
Police identified the man as Laronn Allen, 39, on Wednesday.
Neighbors on Northeast Milton Street near Alameda reported the shooting around 6:45 p.m. on Saturday. When officers arrived, they discovered Allen dead in the street from a gunshot wound.
Investigators said the suspect left the scene and there has not been an arrest. There is not a vehicle or suspect description at this time.
A neighbor said she saw security camera footage showing a car coming down their street and then stopping.
“Someone opened the trunk and took a person out of the trunk. I couldn’t tell by looking at it, if the person was already unconscious or what,” Andrea Hand said. “They dumped that person on the parking strip. Shot them once, stood there for a few moments, closed the trunk and drove away.”
KGW has not seen the video and police have not confirmed what exactly happened.
This was Portland's second homicide in 24-hour-period on Saturday and the 9th of the year.
Witnesses or anyone with tips are asked to contact Detective Joe Corona at 503-823-0508 or Detective Jen Hertzler at 503-823-1040 using case number 24-27572.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
